Wow, thanks for your very detailed response. Glad to see I was mostly on the right track. I was not aware JF could deal with multiple versions like that for movies. That is good to know but the way it handles shows doesnt seem that great. As for the user duplication/watch history thing; Yeah I can see that being a problem. My initial thought is just to make group users (for a lack of a better word) for the mobile focused instance of jellyfin. It wouldnt be much different than sharing a profile on Netflix or something. I only have my family as users so a jacked up watch history shouldnt be too much of a headache.
I will have to do some research onto what formats my devices support but like you said since they are using Findroid/Infuse the container shouldnt matter. The biggest issue so far has been my TV running the Jellyfin app or using the web browser on my PC. I end up having a lot of transcoding going on. Which for some reason uses a TON of CPU even though I have a GPU installed but thats a topic for another thread by itself.
